Sometimes routine maintenance pays sweeping dividends. Earlier this year City of Lathrop staffers discovered a potential failure in an 84-inch storm drain pipe in the Crossroads Business Park system – which includes the majority of the city’s large industrial warehouse buildings. After spending $30,000 with Teichert Construction to clean and inspect the existing pipe and to get a better understanding of how big the problem was, Teichert – along with city staff – concluded that almost 200-feet of the massive pipe was damaged and needed to be replaced.
